Overview

• Philadelphia used the short‑yardage play seven times, including for the decisive touchdown, in a 20-17 win over the Chiefs.
• Slow‑motion replays showed apparent pre‑snap movement that was not flagged, with rules analyst Dean Blandino calling it difficult to officiate and Andy Reid saying early movement must be called.
• Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones was heard venting on the sideline and later noted officials can miss small details from their vantage point.
• ESPN’s Adam Schefter said the game “was lost in March” when owners declined to ban the play, a stance that led to a heated exchange with a Philadelphia radio host.
• Eagles tackle Jordan Mailata dismissed the criticism, alleged defenses are mimicking cadence and lining up offside, and said any team can run the play, while Jason Kelce argued banning it would not fix officiating issues after a spring ban attempt fell two votes short.
